The stories like this can be heard every now and then and I think we all agree that Google's customer support could be vastly improved. But taking a step back, I am finding this particular story slightly suspicious as the site seems a

Simply try to browse the page without using mouse, just the tab key. The next step would be to use screen reader, NVDA[1] (Windows) or Apple VoiceOver (MacOS). There are automated testing tools, but they don't cover the whole spectrum

I am curious, does this mean that Slack will not be able to read messages of such organizations? I.e. the keys will be known to organizations only and Slack will have no access to them?

While not a command line tool, it's worth mentioning that KeePass also has plugins for generating TOTP codes: https://bitbucket.org/devinmartin/keeotp/wiki/Home https://sourceforge.net/pr

I think 2FA objective is to protect mainly from password leaks. If an attacker has access to the files on your laptop aren't they able to intercept 2FA codes too even if they are generated on another device? Such attacks are not purely

Interesting how much prices can vary between countries. I just googled for the prices in several stores here in Poland and it seems you can get the most basic frames and lenses for about $20. You can get a very decent pair for ~$100. Many c

I have mixed feelings about this move. On one hand I like that Mozilla gets additional source of income to support their mission. Plus people will certainly benefit from using a vpn service. On the other hand though this will redirect peopl

Interesting, I just tried it for Japanese. But too often I could fill in a word without understanding it (there's often only one grammatical form that fits). Also each sentence is accompanied by English translation which feels a little

I've been using Anki for some time and I love it but it's not a perfect tool. What I especially like is it's flexibility when it comes to designing flashcards. You can adjust colors, font-sizes and pretty much every visual as

I was taking a Japanese course couple of years ago. The course was difficult and if you did not pass mid-term and end-of-term exams you had to repeat the term which costed a lot of money. Fearing that I could fail I decided to invest in Ank

Yeah, external HDD is the best option here, but it's problematic if you don't have fast connection. I am on 10Mbps line which is like 1.2MB/s and it would take me about a week to download all my data. And Google Takeout links

+1 to that. I started as a QA hoping to switch to being a dev in the future. However I eventually grew to like my role and I enjoy my work very much. I am much better QA than (potentially) a dev. IT is not only programming, there are plenty

Yes I agree with you. I've actually had Crunchyroll in mind when writing my post - many titles are not licensed for my country.

55$ is still quite a lot of money in majority of the world. Plus some content is not available in some regions. I pay for Spotify but for movies (anime in particular) I still need to resort to torrents sometimes. I'd much more prefer t

Offsite backup is not an overkill! Your HDDs can be lost in burglary, water or fire. B2 is cheap, go for it, you may regret not having offsite backup one day. And it does not require much effort, tools like Duplicati can automatically encry

WhatsApp is not perfect and certainly its code not being available for inspection is one of its flaws. However, it did bring security to the masses. I mean I am pretty sure the security it offers is enough for 95% of people. I would not use

Hmm, 2 and 3 I already have in my non-programmable account. 4 I need to do manually (charging and discharging my virtual card that I got from the same bank), automation would surely be nice. Only the 1st point would be something new for me.
